Christmas Day

Once all of the gifts were opened and Emily had eaten lunch she went down for a nap.  Upon waking she got to go swimming with Papa,

help plan Uncle Adam and Aunt Angie's trip to DC,

watch the boys play with Uncle Adam's new disc golfing basket (Daddy played too),

color with Victoria,

and of course, play the "weasel" with Papa.

After all of that fun, it was time to help out with the dinner prep (she is very good at changing the speed on the mixer but apparently needed sunglasses for this pic).

Had to include this pic of her and Daddy.  She is talking - surprise!

Plus the family pics before sitting down to dinner,

and at the table.

The day ended with Paul giving Papa a tutorial about his new Blackberry,

some snuggles,

and a fashion show by Victoria - an interesting collection of some of her gifts.

Our Christmas sure was Merry and Bright (could have been the camera flash).  Hope yours was too!
